Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory

I have no idea why i'm listening to this again. It's been more than 5 years now. I've kept this CD long enough and i think it needs to be heard again. And hearing it again brings back lots of memories. I bought this CD not because i'm a fan of Dream Theater but because this CD is extra special. It is not just like any other ordinary CD. The songs are all linked and you won't know that you are actually listening to another song. It brings you through every scene of a murder that took place in 1928. It's like watching a movie except that you can only listen to it. You can visit this link for a complete analysis, by someone who calls himself Mystery. Here, i have one of the scenes and to me this song has a very deep meaning. It has touched my heart so much.

Oh, i remember going to HardRock Cafe many years back to see the famous Bass Guitarist, John Myung, in action. I am totally impressed by his talent. I don't know why not many people turn up that time. Probably it was held during the day. And i got his signature too. I wonder where it is right now. Hmm...

7. Scene Five: Through Her Eyes

Nicholas:
She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstance

Now that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair
I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate
In loving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died
I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bed
And I know what it's like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same
She wasn't given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wife
I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at last
The door has opened wide
I'm turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes
